“My dear tributes, welcome to the Capitol!” Snow said on is podium

Alex and I held hands as the others while he gave his speech. My eyes were slightly red; the crowd cheered us louder than ever when they heard about what happened with Charlotte. My feet were getting tired; this years costume themes, as always, had to represent the activity of each districts, this year the dresses were more classier and basic, everyone wore tuxedos and dresses, I had some high electric blue heels and I was wearing a bodycon white dress with long sleeves and some accessories that were electric blue as well while Alexander whore a white jacket and pants with an electric blue shirt under, I had my long hair curled up and Alexander had a messy hair on, he looked at me and smiled, we had a little chat after the Charlotte thing happened, he appreciated me for doing what I did, he was honored.

“… I now officially declare the 72nd annual Hunger Games open. May the odds be ever in your favor” Snow finished, the crow cheered, I was overwhelmed and annoyed at the same time, 1 week of training and a couple days of fighting till death to finish this nightmare.

I spotted Harry he was dressed in a silver tuxedo while the female tribute had a long green dress, I chuckled a little bit, he looked at me and smiled, in a minute we were out and back to our apartment.

“It has been a very long and exhausting day, you should go to sleep” Finnick said while he put one of his arms on over my shoulders, typical Finnick, flirting every minute, we were walking to the apartment, mom was in front of us talking with Alex

“Finnick… do you think I have a chance?” I asked

“I haven’t seen you fighting, I don’t have de prejudice” He said smiling slightly

“It because I don’t have any weapon” I said, mom turned around

“You don’t fight with weapons but you have impressive physical skills and you have to admit it” She said and turned around once again. I rolled my eyes and Finnick chuckled

“Then that may help you, that helped me” He said smiling, we entered the apartment and we had dinner.

I was too freaked out to sleep in Charlotte’s room so I just slept on the sofa, it was late night and everybody was asleep, I was still watching TV, seeing Caesar’s and Claudius’ comments of the Chariots ride

“The crowd impressively cheered District 4” Caesar said reading a paper

“I guess is the least they can do, I heard that the female tribute suicide and Effie’s daughter volunteered for her” Claudius said

“Oh, that girl, she is a total sweetheart” Caesar said laughing, I smiled weakly

“They love you” Alexander said chuckling while he sat on the sofa

“What are you doing here so late?” I asked smiling

“I just can’t sleep” He said scratching his head

“Me neither” I said, we continued seeing the comments

“Another very notable district was District 7, ladies went crazy when they found out the male tribute of this year was the one and only Harry Styles” Caesar said

“Not only ladies, I think the whole Capitol was impressed when they found it out” 

“It seems we were the most impressive district” Alexander said smiling

“I think so” I said and weakly smiled

“Well, I will force myself to sleep, training starts tomorrow” He said getting up
